Made several changes while in pre-production as you can see, everything was amended perfectly and added no time to my wait.
I am hugely happy with the service from PCspecialist, couldn't praise them enough.
Huge thanks to the forum for the advice on the build, such a great wealth of knowledge and such a willingness to assist makes it a great place to learn!
Only thing I have changed with the PC since receiving it is swapping the plain black fan in the rear of the case with a Corsair LL120 to complete my understated 😅 RGB look.
Big thanks to @jamiephillips909 and @Bigfoot for the build advice... although I ended up keeping the RGB elements and just paying a little more 😁
Tried to keep the cables as tidy as possible and as few as possible.... although I don't know how long it'll last
